I love this magazine. And issue #10 is as good as the rest. This time tied together by a theme which touches on the importance of location and escapism - how capitalism is chasing those who think for themselves out of the cities and into (but not always) the trees. It's the best (and maybe only) thing I've ever subscribed to.

These illustrations are from a series I finished before Christmas, for a story in South West Airlines in-flight magazine about lesser-known landmarks in American history. I was interested in referencing the kind of spot illustrations you find in children's encylopaedias and atlases, so the drawings are a lot tighter than I'm used to. I definitely want to draw more figures in 2013!

I am a UK based illustrator. I explore subject matter through a body of playful hand-drawn image making and felt tip pen colour illustration for all kinds of hand-made projects, screenprints and products. I am always keen to find good people & new projects.

This blog covers some of the projects I'm invited to work on, work-in-progress, all the good stuff I am lucky enough to find and a few questions about the things I haven't yet...
